ACCURACY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

BGO will take appropriate steps to ensure that personal information collected by BGO is accurate and complete as reasonably required in connection with the purposes, including where personal information is likely to be used by BGO to make a decision that affects the individual to whom the personal information relates or if the personal information is likely to be disclosed to a third party.

HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

BGO takes steps to ensure the security of your personal information, regardless of the format in which it is held, while in its custody is appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, including physical security measures (such as the use of locked cabinets and storage facilities) and technological security measures (such as the use of passwords and encryption).

BGO will take appropriate steps to protect personal information disclosed to third parties, such as by contractual agreements stipulating the confidentiality and security of the information and the purpose for which it is to be used.

PERSONAL INFORMATION TRANSFER

We may transfer the personal information we collect about you to recipients in countries other than the country in which the information originally was collected.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the country in which you initially provided the information, we will protect that information as described in this Online Privacy Notice.

HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Once personal information is no longer required to fulfill the purposes and is no longer required or permitted to be retained for legal or business purposes, it will be destroyed or made anonymous.

ACCESS TO PERSONAL INFORMATION

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. To the extent provided by the law of your jurisdiction, you may request access to the personal information we maintain about you or request that we correct, amend, delete or block the information by contacting us as indicated below.

An individual may, upon written request to BGO's Privacy Officer, access the personal information about the individual that is in the custody of BGO. Within 30 days of such request (or such longer time as permitted by law), BGO will inform the individual of existence, use, and disclosure of such information.

An individual may, upon written request to BGO, request a correction to an error or omission in any personal information that is under BGO's control. BGO will, as appropriate, amend the information as requested and use its best efforts to send the corrected personal information to each third party to which it has disclosed the information during the preceding year.

The written request must provide sufficient detail to enable BGO, with a reasonable effort, to identify the individual and the personal information or correction being sought.

An individual's rights to access his or her personal information are not absolute. BGO may deny access when denial of access is required or permitted by law, including but not limited to if granting an individual access would reveal:

Personal Information about a third party, or information which could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of an individual;

Confidential commercial information;

Personal Information which is protected by solicitor/attorney-client privilege; or

Personal Information collected relating to an investigation.

If we deny an individual's request for access to, or refuse a request to correct Personal Information, we will explain why, to the extent permitted by law.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).
